I think you don't talk enough about animation itself on your blog. It's great when you do, though. I always point people to your site, but they're not always familiar with some technical aspects (last time a friend asked me what you meant by 'uneven inbetweens').

'That 'letters for mouths' bit was around in the fifties, and probably much earlier. Tom Terrific often popped the letters "TV" visually onto his lips as he spoke them, when referring to television. That kind of thing keeps Gene Deitch, sitting in Prague, amused to this day.

Scribner is a pretty talented man- both of the examples show just how versatile he is (and how skilled). Those Porky frames kill me!!! Every frame makes me chuckle! Look what Clampett can get out of his animators! Simply remarkable.
